Upcoming Disney Books

Here are some great-looking Disney books coming out this fall!

The book I may be most excited about is MAPS OF THE DISNEY PARKS: CHARTING 60 YEARS FROM CALIFORNIA TO SHANGHAI by Kevin and Susan Neary and Vanessa Hunt.

Hunt coauthored the superb POSTER ART OF THE DISNEY PARKS.

MAPS OF THE DISNEY PARKS is due out October 18th.

I'm also very enthused about WALT DISNEY'S SILLY SYMPHONIES: A COMPANION TO THE CLASSIC CARTOON SERIES which will be published September 27th.

It's by Russell Merritt and J.B. Kaufman. Kaufman is the author of a number of excellent Disney histories including SOUTH OF THE BORDER WITH DISNEY and SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS.

Also out in September: THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS: A LOT TO REMEMBER.

THE WALT DISNEY STUDIOS is by Disney's Becky Cline and Steven Clark. (Update: This book was pulled back for unknown reasons shortly after publication and is only available from third-party vendors, typically at high prices.) (August 2019 Update: After three years, the book has been updated and is now available again -- I just bought a signed copy at the D23 Expo!)

Looks like some great reading ahead for Disney fans.

May 2017 Update: A new book list!

Updates: Here are new book lists from September 2018 and March 2020.
